Professional and easy to talk to. Supportive of my case and provided solid advice. Rebecca, Jess and Tom were all very helpful and knowledgable and I felt they understood my case and what needed to be put in place.

“Exceptional representation. Outstanding result.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Richard Cooper and Sternberg Reed highly enough. From the very beginning, Richard showed outstanding professionalism, compassion and dedication in what was an incredibly long, complex and emotionally draining case for my grandson and our family. He guided us through every stage with clarity, honesty and calm reassurance, always taking the time to explain matters fully and respond to our concerns. Richard worked tirelessly to ensure the correct expert evidence was obtained and never lost sight of the bigger picture — protecting my grandson’s wellbeing while pursuing the best possible outcome. His strategic approach and determination were instrumental in achieving a result that allowed the case to be brought to an end without the need for a trial. What truly sets Richard apart is not just his legal expertise, but his humanity. He treated my grandson with dignity and understanding throughout, and his support meant more to our family than words can express. I am deeply grateful to Richard and to Sternberg Reed and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing exceptional legal representation.

Thank you Soulia and all your team for a fantastic outcome, just about the best I could have hoped for under the circumstances. You cared a lot about me and my family, and always made sure someone else was available during your absence. I highly recommend anyone to use you.

Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top

Got the impression that the solicitor l spoke to was not interested, she was not helpful at all and a bit snobbish. I will not recommend them at all.

I can't recommend Soulla Kokkinos enough for her knowledge and advice during what was a difficult separation, I initially used Sternberg Reed 4 years ago and after that I spent the last year representing myself as I had learnt a lot and it seemed I could handle it, until my case was escalated to a level I no longer felt comfortable. I went back to Sternberg Reed and they represented me perfectly in the very short time we had to prepare and I could not be happier with the result. I am sure they are great at other things but if you are a father and you are having problems with access to your children I doubt you will find better representation at this price

A representative from Sternberg Reed LLP responded to this review

Hi Dion, thank you so much for this review. Really glad we were able to help. If you ever need legal help in the future, we would be more than happy to help. Wishing you all the best, SR

Unique law firm that actually CARES for their clients. Incredible, professional, caring team, extremely experienced, with in depth knowledge of family matters, not only saved me and my family, but also supported me on personal level, making sure I recover after the most traumatic events in my life. Every advice from my team was and still is priceless. They didn't just fight for me in court hearings, they made sure my whole family (including the opposite side) will eventually achieve working solution. I am grateful and impressed and cannot imagine what would happen without them. Unlike other law firms, Zoe and Yvonne's team made sure my matters would eventually get sorted rather than turn into a lenghty but profitable for the firm court proceedings. I am keeping them on my side and I would wholeheartedly reccomend them to anyone who wants get their happiness back (rather then ruthlessly "win").

Thanks so much for your review. We're so pleased we were able to support you through this. I've passed your comments on to Zoe, Yvonne and the team.

I used Sternberg Reed for conveyancing - I had a difficult experience working with the seller and the sellers solicitor, their communication was poor and I encountered numerous issues. Raj Sharma and Vicki were a pleasure to work with. Raj gave us expert advice and helped us secure our purchase. Thank you to Raj and Team!
